Hip hop is kinda funny because the further you get into it the more at risk you are.

Rap is purging itself from the things it didn't need and it's allowing the younger dudes to come up. With that being said you're always going to need people from that golden era.

Hip Hop has its ups and downs but I'm gonna do my best to not necessarily bring that back but just remind people what they are forgetting about.

The way I think it all went down was MTV was doing a special on people and my publicist heard about it.It was a good thing though. People ask me about that all the time, all over the world. Sometimes I feel I'm more known for that then for rapping.

I look at Large Professor as a big influence. I grew up with him and being able to grow up with him enabled me to meet Nas, Busta, Q-Tip and all these people I looked up to at the time. Even Large himself. He was a good friend but at the same time he was definitely someone I looked up to.

I don't regret anything that I ever did. You just look back at things and you either learn from them or get what you can from them but I wouldn't change what I did.

I was djing before I was rapping. I was calling myself Mike Geronimo and spelling it like Mike but he was just like spell it M-i-c. I was like that's ill cuz it stands out.
